Forster's innovative lock rings are a testament to precision engineering in the realm of reloading. These clamps envelop the entire die, ensuring an exact alignment between the lock ring threads and those of your die. Such meticulous design is integral to Forster’s esteemed Bench Rest Dies, known for their superior quality and reliability.
The cross bolt mechanism employed here deviates from traditional screw designs that often compromise thread integrity by tightening directly into them. Instead, this method connects both ends of the ring securely without marring or canting. The result? A more precise fit that maintains flawless thread condition over time.
Simplicity meets efficiency with this system: all it takes to tighten or loosen the robust steel cross bolt screw is a 7/64" hex key (commonly referred to as an Allen wrench). This user-friendly approach ensures swift adjustments while safeguarding against potential damage.
Designed with versatility in mind, these lock rings accommodate standard 7/8"-14 thread dies from most manufacturers, making them a practical choice for any reloader seeking enhanced accuracy and durability in their setup.
